Everyone thinks that going to Hawaii is a dream vacation. That's true unless you're living in a post-apocalyptic world. Enter Nighmarchers, a new RPG / Shooter that is based on the island of Oahu. The game will make its exclusive debut on a new "destination platform" called BrightLocker which will also bring beta access, in-game content and developer access to players. In Nightmarchers, players need to survive and become one with the spirit world on the way to becoming a demigod.

During the adventure, players will learn more about Hawaii's past while traversing a realistic imagining of over 500 square miles of territory.

Nightmarchers will launch early access in 2018 with the following game features:

Play Your Way: The open world 3rd person action-adventure game features RPG elements and presents players with a “play your way” experience, whether that be by stealth, sniper, guns blazing or a powerful spells encounter. Players ultimately decide how they will fight and which factions they will support or take out as they rebuild Oahu.

Mystical Lore: Players can uncover the secrets of Hawaii’s mystical past as Kai, who was newly resurrected by the gods of Oahu to save the island from the tyranny of Kama and his cult of the corrupt god, Kamapua’a, while watching out for the powerful Nightmarchers who protect the island.

Authentic Oahu & Environments: From myths and legends to landmarks and stories known only by locals, the world of Nightmarchers presents an authentic depiction of the island, right down to the full-scale representation of the terrain within the game world. With 500 square miles to explore, the game features beautiful ruins overgrown and reclaimed by 100 years of resurgent jungle in a post-apocalyptic Oahu.

Skills & Abilities: Players can discover and unlock more than 40 skills in the game, including the supernatural Akua (God) abilities like phase, portal, void sense, bullet bend and more.

Base-Building: With more than 50 outposts, villages and locations to befriend, capture, or develop, players decide how they will rebuild the island unlocking a story exclusive to their decisions. Player actions can tip the balance of power between the factions vying for control of the island, acting as the frontline of an ever-shifting battlefield.

Custom Content Engine: The game’s custom content engine watches the player and ensures that the world is always presenting interesting and relevant encounters that adapt to both the player’s current abilities and the decisions they have make.

BrightLocker is offering folks 50 gold to be used for early access to its slate of betas as well as other rewards and offers. Registration is free as well.
